Trust in each other

We believe everyone in our company brings their own contribution to the success of SMART Photonics.

Bias for action

Do it now and get the job done. Speed matters in our business. We roll up our sleeves and take action, again and again. We take initiative whenever we see we can improve things and have a sense of urgency towards getting things done today.

Ownership

We own our work and deliver on commitment. This means that we take the lead in our work, despite setbacks or unclarity. We always keep our eye on the ball. We never say ‘this is not my job’.

Work SMART

We need procedures but need them to be the means, not the goal. We make our processes simple and functional in all departments to stay agile. We focus on what is needed to move forward pragmatically. We use our resources efficiently to accomplish more with less.
